[quote=Anonymous]The only reason we contacted our agent after 9pm was because she was literally filling out the offer sheet and had questions for us. We had decided to put in our offer in the early afternoon and spent the rest of the day getting everything to her. She didn't have time to pull together the offer until 8pm (she was busy showing houses). The offer was due the next morning.

This was our first time buying a house and I really appreciated how much she hustled. She also gave us a very clear list of "tasks" that we needed to complete in order to get the offer together.

We actually lost the place, even with our escalation clause, as there were 4 other bids. But it gave me A LOT more perspective on what our agent did. There's a lot of behind-the-scenes stuff happening that you don't even know about - calling the lender, calling the selling agent to coordinate offer details, etc. While on its face you can plausibly say, "Anyone can do this job!" and that's true; there isn't much technical skill to the job. It's also just incredibly stressful to balance so many moving pieces at once for just one client, let along 4 or 5 clients who are all in varying stages of the buying/selling process.

And even after all the harried frenzy of getting our offer together in the span of 24 hours, she still didn't even get paid. That must be massively frustrating and we will be sure to use her again when the next place comes on the market.[/quote]
